A federal jury in Buffalo, N.Y., convicted Hadi Matar, 28, on Wednesday of engaging in an act of transnational terrorism and providing material support to Hezbollah for the 2022 stabbing of author Salman Rushdie.

Matar is already serving a 25-year New York state prison sentence for attempted murder in the attack. His federal sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 3, when he faces a potential life term.

Prosecutors argued Matar was motivated by a 1989 fatwa issued by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini calling for Rushdie's death over his novel "The Satanic Verses." Iran's government denied involvement in the attack.

Evidence presented at trial included private notes in which Matar wrote "We need to kill him ASAP" and messages from 2021 and 2022 in which he tracked Rushdie's public appearances, including his August 2022 talk at the Chautauqua Institution.

Rushdie testified at the trial, telling jurors he was stabbed 15 times and lost sight in his right eye. "I can't say what his ambitions or his aim was, but the wounds were dispersed across my body," he said.

Defense attorney Nathaniel Barone argued the government had no proof of Matar's state of mind and that he acted independently, without coordination or control from Hezbollah. Matar declined to testify.
